Not many people were at the cemetery,
but the group was Sad one, and few who
looked on tho fornlora grave failed TO shed

WAS opened and stream Of people walked
slowly pact and gazed on tho unknown

]. Mrs. Space looked at the face Of the

gsw. Mrs. Spaces facs was yery white.
and her lips trembled as he bid farewell
to the womrn who she is certain was Mary.
Then came Mrs. Kate Lyons, of 334
East Twenty.ninth street, New York, and
Miss Annie Bonney, who lives with her,
who claims the body to be that of Maggie
Gormley. Both women cried aloud and
prayed to God 10 Bsve their companion
from being buried without name. OFF.
Ger Charles Wright supported M,s. Lyons
as she swayed to and fro in her cries, and
the undertaken announced that the grave
was ready. ~, wi s
Six reporters scted as pell.bearers.
Flowers were atre~cd about the grave,
and the kind dominic, William Alfred
Gay, Of the Presbyterian Ohu,cb, raised
bis voice in prayer. 10 pathetic address
he said: "We inset around en- open grave,
For weeks tile mutilated body has bssu
locus OF many eyes and tho subject oi
protracted Investigation, but the sbrouded
form is nameless. The assassin still skulks
10 the gloom, while thoae who loved the
living are not here to pay their last tribute
to the dead. Poor unfortunate, sleep on
until the voice Of Deity shall call the dead
from their quiet sleep. Find here home
where the violets and daisies shall bud
and blossom and the evergreens chant
their requiems and the birds carol the
livelong day and the insects sing from
eventido until early morn, and may the
loving Father and gentle Saviour and
the protecting Spirit comfort the sb-
cent lnourners with the consolation of the
blessed gospel Of Jesus Christ, our Lord :"
Mrs. Space came to Railway this after
noon, and was received by Undertaken
Ryno. She insists that the dead girl is
her sister, Mary Dorman, and presents a
letter from her mother in Scotland, which
etstes that Mary positively sailed ior this
country. Mrs. Space is living picture Of
tho victim and her story is well received
by everybody familiar with the case.
Mira. Kate Lyons, OF 1874 East Twenty
ninth street, New York, alao came to
make an effort to have the victim buried
as Maggie Gormley, missing Irish Girl
last seen in Elizabeth nino months ayo.
Mrs. Lyons says abe Is positive it is Mag
gle and has named the scars on the neck
and has identified the face, underclothinp
and the bloody knife. The shoes Mrs'
Lyons claims to have been given to Mag
gle aa a present. Mrs. Lyons was here
twice before.
Mrs. Lyons uaid: maggie carried
money in little bag about her neck,
which accounts for, the murderer tearing
away her collar. Oh, know it is she.
Poor thing. She was killed with her own
knife" Then Mrs. Lyons went on to tell
the reporter that abe easily identified the
knife ae the one Maggie always carried.
TheAnna Christine Larsen story appears
to have been thoroughly exploded.
Chief keron, Of Elizabeth, telegraphs that
he can produce the girl.
